and he be Col. Gardiner" o,
those two Moravian missionaries WIN
wanted to go into the lazaretto for the
sake of attending the sick, and they werc
told, "If you go in there, you will never
come out. We never allow any one 10
come out, for he would bring the con-
tagion." Then they made their wills
and went in, first to help the sick, and
then to die. Which was the happier-COl
Gardiner, or the Moravian missionaries
diving for others? Was it all sacrifice when
the missionaries wanted to bring the
Gospel to the negroes at Barbados, and,
being denied the privilege, sold themselves
into slavery, standing side by side, and
lying side by side down in the very ditch
of suffering, in order that they might
bring those men up to life and God and
heavenS Oh, there is thrill in the joy
Of doing goodi 1t Is the most magnificent

Selling chickens by tho quarter seems
rather small business. yet a dealer in the
Philadelphia Central market sells them in
that way. making his price fer a fore
quarter Of chicken iiftec: cents. and for
hindquarter ten cents. On Thanksgiy-
ing day and the day h'fore. his prices
Were eight and five cents respectively.
1t seems that this idea of making four
lots of chicken was that of a charita-
bic citizen, whose object was to give the
poor a chance to buy chicken, especially
when ordered by the doctor for chicken
broth. 1t is not profitable business so
far. On the contrary, the loss on sales
since the experiment was begun. nearly
q year ago, has been about $500, but the
benevolent man who makes good tho
loss to the dealer is not discouraged, and
hopes to make the business pay in the
long run. His is practical philanthropy
Of an unpretending but useful sort.

Difficulty in Forming The Interstate Con

Difficulty in Forming The Interstate Com
merce Commission.
New York, February 23d.-The Times
Washington special says Only one man has
been offered place on the Interstate Rail-
road Commission, and he has declined it.
One candidate selected by the President
was ex-senator Thurman, whose declina-
ton is positive. Further than that the
forn:atlon OF the Commission has not ad-
vanced. The President has sim iplified his
work by announcing to the California rep
resentatives who called upon him in the
interest Of Mr.. Swift, of that State, that he
would not go so far west as the Pacific
slopesfor member of the Commission.
The Commission will consist of one man
from the New England States. another from
the Middle States-probably from New
York-another from Ohio, Indiana or Hi
nois, fourth from the Northwest, ard a
fifth from the South. Applications to the
number OF 400 and more are not likely to
influence The Presidents choice. He had
about chosen the Eastern man, and the
storm of criticism provoked by the men,
ton of the mans name has made doubtful
the wisdom of appointing him. The diff
Guilty that has been thrown in the way OF
selection is the opposition of Democrats to
the selection of Republicans fromsth sew
eral States mention. Democrats all want
to have them selected from some other
State. In New York the President finds il
difficult 10 find the sort of man he would
like TO accept. he would be glad TO put 9

Severe Earthquake Shocks in the South
ern Portion OF Europe.

Severe Earthquake Shocks i'm the South
ern Portion OF Europe.
ROME. February 23i.-Two shocks of
earthquake were felt at Nice at o'clock
this morning. Houses rocked, walls
cracked, and IN some cases frail tenements
were thrown TO the ground. People rushed
from their houses and fell upon their knees
in the streets, praying for deliverance from
sudden death. Visitors 10 the city have
become thoroughly frightened and are
leaving the place. Many persons were in
jured by falling debris. Much alarm is felt
lest there be a recurrence of the shocks.
The Prince OF Wales, who was in Nice a
few days ago. witnessing the festivities
which precede the Lenten season, had
taken his departure and was safe at Cannes.
Shocks were also felt at Montecarlo and
Monaco, al which place they were so severe
that rocks were detached from the cliffs
and precipitated into the sea. The dis
turbances extended as far as Genoa.
At the time OF the earthquake this morn
ing the Rivera was crowded with English
and American tourists, and persons of dis
tinction. When the first shock occurred
the streets of Nice were fairly throDged
with persons in ballroom costumes, return
ing to their homes from the last Carnival
of the winter season. Two of these earth
quakes came with peculiar terror
The shocks were felt with great severity
at Savona, near Genoa, and number of
houses were wrecked and eleven persons
killed at that place.

WASHINGTON, February 23d.-ln the Sen
| ate, at = O'Clock, the unfinished business
| was announced, being the bill to create the
Department of Agriculture and Labor.
Jones of Arkansas madea argument in
support of the bill.
Several amendments reported by the
Senate Committee on Agriculture to the
House bill were agreed 10, down to the
one providing for the transfer of the
Signal Service.
The bill was then passed without diyis-
ion. and conference was asked.
The Senate then took up the pleuro-
pneumonia bill.
Mcpherson moved to postpone it till to-
morrow, and to proceed to the consider
alton of the House Joint resolution, for an
investigation of the Pacific railroads.
The motion was lost.
Van Wvck suggested, in view of the inn
portance Of the matter, that Friday next
be designated for its consideration.
Edmunds objected.
Hoar gave notice that he would to-mOr-
row ask The Senate TO assign time, prob
ably 2 O'Clock on Friday, for the consider
ing of the Pacific inquiry bill.
FRYE made an affecting appeal to the
Senate to take up and consider the message
from the President, vetoing the bill that

he could not lift a spoon TO his mouth.
One night, about two months ago, he was
carried on a reclining-chair into his Frye's)
room, and there he told his story. Con-
gress passed the bill opening the door TO
him 20 apply for arrears, and that bill the
President vetoes because he had not infor-
nation which he Mr.. Frye now gave the
Senate. The President said that this was
a dangerous door to open. but during the
whole two years that it was open under the
law this man had not power TO avail him
self Of it.
The bill was passed over the Presidents
veto by vote Of % to 6. The six noes
were Black. Berry, Blackburn, Coke, Harris
